I set crossies just for pleasure. I wonder if some of you excellent regulars would like to try a few of my clues? Since they're new, no letters!

Please withhold solutions till 5 pm (GMT) to allow others to have a go.

1. A diagrammatic outline of the old Deutsche Mark (6)
2. Curiosity displayed at hearing an unusual melody (6)
3. Train robbery? (5-2)
4. Predisposition to abolish the poorest, perverted and weak (7)
5. Unlimited gents soak up port (8)

1 Sketch ?
2. Oddity (curiosity), sounds like odd ditty
3. Break-in ( double definition)
4. Insipid (predisposition minus poorest - anag.)

Hi Jazzgirl. Alone at last! lol.
2, 3, 4 = spot-on. No. 1 not 'sketch'.
Well done.

I'd went with stick-up for (3) but break in also works well

Well! I didn't get much time alone with JG, did I?
Thanks Therogue for having a go, hope you enjoyed 'em.
Ixion. Absolutely correct (with explanations).

I'm off out to an "All Saints" service now.
Take care all

Ah, evening jazzgirl.
Think they must have been tough this week. Your answers look good for 3 and 4, but what's the elusive No5 I wonder?
